Driving Across Michigan

Beautiful day for driving. We left Holland at about nine thirty and drove straight pass Lansing and got on Interstate 69 to head towards Flint. It was almost twelve noon there and we made an uneventful stop at a McDonald's and had some lunch.

What I was quietly thinking was about how lovely the scenery is during the summer. The area is full of lush vegetation, the fields are filled with row upon row of growing cornstalks which are already growing cobs. Then there were fields of soy, and some lovely golden fields where something else had grown and others were golden because there were grasses that would later be collected and bound in hay stacks. I saw rivers, soft rolling hills, a multitude of red barns, gray barns, green barns, some aluminum barns, and a good share of old rusty barns. All of which have a story to tell and a history to share. The old Red, White, and Blue was often seen and photographed as well as many Oaks, Maples, Birches, Douglas Firs, and Blue Spruce. I even caught a glimpse of a road named Elba!! It's been a fun day, and I am getting accustomed to having family around, and it's so good.

Well, got to go and get some sleep here in Sarnia, because we have a full day of roads in Canada before we stop in Niagara for a few and then to Penfield. What a wonderful summer, and what wonderful daughters, and family. Dios los bendiga! Love you very much!

About Me

About me? I live in Carolina, Puerto Rico. I recently moved back to the island to the surprise of many people. I almost feel like a salmon swimming upstream against that huge current of people migrating to the mainland. About what I care about-- well I love my family, I love people, love beauty, especially in nature. In fact, that is why I started this blog to share things I liked with my family. I take tons of pictures. This blog includes many of the them, especially to document what I paint and where I travel.
Simply put, I am a person on a journey like all of us, hoping to make everyday better, hopeful to be kinder to others and to live out my faith in God. Psalm 19, embodies it. Enjoy my blog!
Creo que debo decir algo en español. Soy puertorriqueña, nacida en el Viejo San Juan y me fui a vivir a los Estados Unidos a los cinco años. Unos de mis mas atesorados recuerdos era de las aceras anchas del Parque Luis Muñoz Rivera y sus lindas plantas. Un jardin. Que curioso verdad? Amo a mi Puerto Rico y voy y vengo a menudo, lo suficiente para siempre poder guiar por sus calles, sus montes, pasear por sus playas, y mi querido Naranjito. Los quiero mucho!
